Groupon No Longer Offers Gun-Related Deals
In the aftermath of the tragedy in Newtown, Conn., Groupon has paused all its gun-related deals. The company has canceled existing and planning offers for shooting ranges, conceal-and-carry and clay shooting. “All scheduled and current gun-related deals featured on Groupon North America, including shooting ranges, conceal-and-carry and clay shooting, have been placed on hiatus while we review internal standards that shape the deal inventory we feature,” Groupon said in a statement Saturday. “The category is under review following recent consumer and merchant feedback.” Groupon made the decision to stop offering gun-related deals after President Barack Obama’s speech about gun control last week.
